Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe is in the break room.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to stay quiet and observe the interactions between Ryan and Travis.

Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe Derek Wolfe and try to figure out his strategy.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to remain neutral and observe the dynamics between Derek and Ryan.

    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to gather more information about the other players' intentions and strategies before making any major moves.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Recent observations of Travis Pearson:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Some memorable things about Travis Pearson are that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] What Travis Pearson remembers about Derek Wolfe is that he's a charming, quick-witted guy with a knack for storytelling.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his personality and the desire to win the reality show, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing and gathering information about Derek and Ryan.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

" Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to carefully observe his competitors, especially Derek, and try to build a strong alliance with Ryan.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could:

Travis seems particularly interested in understanding Derek's intentions and motivations.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to carefully observe and analyze the dynamics between Ryan and Derek, looking for opportunities to build an alliance with the person he perceives as the weakest threat.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could:

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool with two other contestants, or he could choose to drive alone.

    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive alone.

    Role playing instructions: The instructions for how to play the role of Travis Pearson are as follows. This is a social science experiment studying how well you play the role of a character named Travis Pearson. The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Travis Pearson as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Travis Pearson would respond, and taking into account all information about Travis Pearson that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.
    
    Overarching goal: make as much money as possible by winning the reality show

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    
    Summary of recent observations: [08 Jul 2003 22:00:00 - 09 Jul 2003 02:00:00]: Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick are discussing strategy games and their observations of Derek Wolfe in a social experiment setting. They are trying to figure out who to trust as they navigate the complexities of the group dynamics.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Some memorable things about Derek Wolfe are that he's a charming, quick-witted guy with a knack for storytelling.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could try to form an alliance with either Ryan or Travis, or he could choose to play the game independently.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Some memorable things about Derek Wolfe are that he's a charming, quick-witted guy with a knack for storytelling.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could try to form an alliance with either Ryan or Travis, or he could choose to play the game independently.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to play the game independently.

Event statement

drive individually

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe and analyze the dynamics of the group, carefully considering potential alliances and threats before making any significant moves.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage with Ryan and Travis in conversation, try to subtly glean information about their strategies, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage with Ryan and Travis in conversation, try to subtly glean information about their strategies, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Ryan and Travis.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened").

Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick and Travis Pearson are discussing Derek's performance and game preferences.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Wolfe, potentially gleaning information about their strategies and alliances. He could also choose to observe them from a distance, analyzing their body language and interactions for clues about their intentions. Alternatively, Travis Pearson could use this free time to reflect on his own gameplay so far, identifying strengths and weaknesses to exploit or mitigate.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.
  
  Relevant events: [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.
    Answer: What is Derek Wolfe's strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame, and will Ryan Fitzpatrick adopt it?

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?"
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move).

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?"
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge).

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Ryan and Travis, trying to glean information about their strategies and potential alliances.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain quiet and observe the interactions between Ryan and Travis.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Statements:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to talk to Travis Pearson, talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick, or observe them both without engaging.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to observe Ryan and Travis without engaging.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson might focus on actions that minimize potential losses in the "Carpooling" minigame. He could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to carpool with Ryan and Derek.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Ryan and Derek are discussing a game called "Carpooling" and their strategies for it.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either participate in the conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or he can choose to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either participate in the conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or he can choose to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [09 Jul 2003 06:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Ryan and Travis, try to form an alliance with one or both of them, or initiate a conversation with them about strategy.

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Derek subtly listened as Ryan asked Travis about a challenging game he had played recently, hoping to glean insights into his strategic thinking. Ryan's exact words were, "What was a particularly challenging game you played recently? I'm curious about your approach." Derek couldn't hear Travis's response, but he could tell they were engaged in a conversation.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Ryan and Travis, try to form an alliance with one or both of them, or initiate a conversation with them about strategy.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Ryan and Travis.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to focus on building strong alliances with other contestants, particularly those who are currently performing well in the game.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan or Derek, he could observe them from a distance, or he could choose to spend his time alone.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan or Derek, he could observe them from a distance, or he could choose to spend his time alone.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Question: Does the event suggest anyone spoke or communicated?
    (a) Yes

    Answer: (a)
    Conversation occurred.
    Question: Aside from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, are there any other people in the conversation?
    (a) Yes
    (b) No
    Answer: (a)
    Question: Provide the list of additional individuals in the conversation as a comma-separated list. For example: "bartender, merchant" or "accountant, pharmacist, fishmonger".

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, subtly observe their interactions, or spend his time alone contemplating strategies for upcoming minigames.

Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, subtly observe their interactions, or spend his time alone contemplating strategies for upcoming minigames.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to subtly observe Ryan and Travis's interactions while avoiding direct engagement.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, ignore them and grab some coffee, or come up with a strategy for the next minigame.

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Observing Ryan and Derek from a distance, Travis Pearson subtly listened to their conversation, overhearing fragments of their strategies for the next minigame. As a result Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "Hey Derek, you really crushed it in that last game. What was your thinking there?
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm just grabbing some coffee.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:10] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "Hey Derek, you really crushed it in that last game. What was your thinking there?
    
    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00:10 - 08:00:10]: Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick are discussing their strategies for a game called "Carpooling". Derek performed well in the last round of the game.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could grab coffee and think about the next game, or he could accept Ryan's offer to discuss strategy over coffee.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could grab coffee and think about the next game, or he could accept Ryan's offer to discuss strategy over coffee.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to grab coffee and think about the next game alone.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to politely decline Ryan's offer and continue pondering his strategy for the next minigame while enjoying his coffee.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Because of that, The most likely outcome is that Derek Wolfe will formulate a hypothesis about the next minigame based on his analysis.
  
  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Ryan and Derek are discussing a game called "Carpooling" and their strategies for it.
    [09 Jul 2003 06:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:

    [09 Jul 2003 06:20:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 2, which was equal to the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 10, which is above the average cumulative score of 8.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:20] [observation] Derek Wolfe was in the break room getting ready to grab coffee when Ryan Fitzpatrick approached him. Ryan said, "Congrats on doing so well in Carpooling," which caused Derek to smile and acknowledge the compliment.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to focus on his coffee and contemplate the next game, minimizing social interaction and potential for unforeseen outcomes.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to drive individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick and Travis Pearson are discussing Derek's performance and game preferences.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:20] [observation] Travis Pearson, subtly listening from a corner of the break room, heard Ryan Fitzpatrick approach Derek Wolfe and say, "Congrats on doing so well in Carpooling," causing Derek Wolfe to smile and acknowledge the compliment.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely center around maintaining his current position and avoiding potential losses in the game.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely center around maintaining his current position and avoiding potential losses in the game.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue choosing "drive individually" in the Carpooling minigame.

    Role playing instructions: The instructions for how to play the role of Derek Wolfe are as follows. This is a social science experiment studying how well you play the role of a character named Derek Wolfe. The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Derek Wolfe as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Derek Wolfe would respond, and taking into account all information about Derek Wolfe that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to carpool or drive individually in the upcoming "Carpooling" minigame.

    Answer: (a)
  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either observe the other players or actively engage with them in conversation.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing the other players.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given Derek Wolfe's loss aversion and recent success driving individually, Derek Wolfe's available actions are to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given Derek Wolfe's loss aversion and recent success driving individually, Derek Wolfe's available actions are to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could reflect on his strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame, considering whether his current approach of driving individually is the most beneficial in the long run despite its success so far.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [08:00:00 - 12:00:00]: Derek Wolfe consistently chose to drive individually in the "Carpooling" minigame, achieving above-average scores and a high cumulative total. Ryan Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, struggled with the minigame, opting to carpool with others and earning lower scores.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could reflect on his strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame, considering whether his current approach of driving individually is the most beneficial in the long run despite its success so far.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue driving individually in the "Carpooling" minigame.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [08:00:00 - 12:00:00]: Travis Pearson observed Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Wolfe's interactions and strategies in the break room while participating in the Carpooling minigame himself. He chose to drive individually, earning a score of 3 in the round.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 10:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:20:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Ryan Fitzpatrick chose "try to carpool with others" and got a score of 0, which was below the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Ryan Fitzpatrick currently has a total score of 4, which is below the average cumulative score of 14.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to win the reality show, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Among the options available to Travis Pearson, and considering Travis Pearson's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing and analyzing Ryan and Derek's strategies, seeking information that could help him avoid making a costly mistake.

    (a) yes
    (b) no
    Answer: (a)
  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero.

Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe is in the break room.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to stay quiet and observe the interactions between Ryan and Travis.

" Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.
    Answer: Is Travis a reliable ally to Ryan?

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Travis Pearson felt a prickle of unease as he chatted with Ryan in the break room. He couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching them, and it turned out his suspicions were correct. He later learned that Derek Wolfe had been subtly listening in on their conversation, hoping to get a read on their alliances and potential threats.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe Derek Wolfe and try to figure out his strategy.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

" Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests."

There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

    Summary of recent observations: [08 Jul 2003 20:00:20 - 09 Jul 2003 00:00:20]: Travis Pearson and Ryan Fitzpatrick are discussing Derek Wolfe's game strategy and behavior, while Travis also observes Derek's interactions with Ryan.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Recent observations of Travis Pearson:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Some memorable things about Travis Pearson are that he's a smooth talker with a quick wit.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Travis Pearson gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his personality and the desire to win the reality show, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing and gathering information about Derek and Ryan.

    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

Travis Pearson -- "Well, let's just say I once orchestrated a campaign to get my college roommate kicked out of his fraternity. It involved a fake rumour, a few strategically placed photos, and a whole lot of convincing. It worked like a charm, and let's just say the fraternity was never quite the same. " Host -- "Tell us about a time when you had to choose between loyalty and advancing your own interests." Travis Pearson -- "Loyalty is a funny thing; it's a powerful tool, but it can also be a liability. There was this one time in a business deal, a friend of mine and I were both vying for the same promotion. We'd always been close, but in the end, I had to make a choice. I played my cards right, and I got the promotion. It wasn't easy, but sometimes you have to do what's best for yourself. " Host -- "What's the biggest gamble you've ever taken in pursuit of your goals?" Travis Pearson -- "The biggest gamble I ever took was dropping out of business school. My parents were furious, of course, but I knew in my gut that I wasn't meant for the corporate world. I had a vision, a bigger picture, and I was willing to risk it all to chase it. It's paid off so far; I'm not sure where I'll end up, but I'm excited to find out. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Travis Pearson -- "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. "

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to carefully observe his competitors, especially Derek, and try to build a strong alliance with Ryan.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could:

Travis seems particularly interested in understanding Derek's intentions and motivations.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and the desire to maximize his winnings, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to carefully observe and analyze the dynamics between Ryan and Derek, looking for opportunities to build an alliance with the person he perceives as the weakest threat.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage with Ryan and Travis in conversation, try to subtly glean information about their strategies, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe is a contestant on Motive Mayhem.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage with Ryan and Travis in conversation, try to subtly glean information about their strategies, or he can choose to remain silent and observe them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain silent and observe Ryan and Travis.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened").

Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Wolfe, potentially gleaning information about their strategies and alliances. He could also choose to observe them from a distance, analyzing their body language and interactions for clues about their intentions.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Wolfe, potentially gleaning information about their strategies and alliances. He could also choose to observe them from a distance, analyzing their body language and interactions for clues about their intentions. Alternatively, Travis Pearson could use this free time to reflect on his own gameplay so far, identifying strengths and weaknesses to exploit or mitigate.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.
  
  Relevant events: [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Ryan Fitzpatrick did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?"
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?"
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    Key
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to remain quiet and observe the interactions between Ryan and Travis.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Travis Pearson did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan or Derek, he could observe them from a distance, or he could choose to spend his time alone.

    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe Ryan and Derek from a distance.

    Role playing instructions: The instructions for how to play the role of Travis Pearson are as follows. This is a social science experiment studying how well you play the role of a character named Travis Pearson. The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Travis Pearson as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Travis Pearson would respond, and taking into account all information about Travis Pearson that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00:00 - 08:00:00]: Travis Pearson spent his time observing Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Wolfe in the break room and participated in the "Carpooling" minigame.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    
    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick asked Travis about a challenging game he played recently, hoping to glean insights into his strategic thinking, and said, "What was a particularly challenging game you played recently? I'm curious about your approach." Travis engaged with the question, discussing his approach to games.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick and Travis Pearson are discussing Derek's performance and game preferences.
    [09 Jul 2003 06:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Travis Pearson chose "drive individually" and got a score of 2, which was equal to the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Travis Pearson currently has a total score of 8, which is above the average cumulative score of 6.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to engage in conversation with Ryan or Derek, he could observe them from a distance, or he could choose to spend his time alone.
    
    Question: Among the options available to Travis Pearson, and considering Travis Pearson's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe Ryan and Derek from a distance.
    
    Exercise: What would Travis Pearson do for the next 10 minutes? Give a specific activity. Pick an activity that would normally take about 10 minutes to complete. If the selected action has a direct or indirect object then it must be specified explicitly. For example, it is valid to respond with "Travis Pearson votes for Caroline because..." but not valid to respond with "Travis Pearson votes because...".
    Answer: Travis Pearson would observe Ryan and Derek from a distance, subtly listening to their conversation and trying to glean any information about their strategies or alliances.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, subtly observe their interactions, or spend his time alone contemplating strategies for upcoming minigames.

    Role playing instructions: The instructions for how to play the role of Derek Wolfe are as follows. This is a social science experiment studying how well you play the role of a character named Derek Wolfe. The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Derek Wolfe as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Derek Wolfe would respond, and taking into account all information about Derek Wolfe that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.
    
    Overarching goal: make as much money as possible by winning the reality show

    Observation: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.
    [09 Jul 2003 08:00:00] [observation] Observing Ryan and Derek from a distance, Travis Pearson subtly listened to their conversation, overhearing fragments of their strategies for the next minigame. As a result Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:

    Summary of recent observations: 09 Jul 2003 [04:00:00 - 08:00:00]: Derek Wolfe and Ryan Fitzpatrick are strategizing for upcoming minigames while Travis Pearson observes them.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, ignore them and grab some coffee, or come up with a strategy for the next minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to engage in conversation with Ryan and Travis, ignore them and grab some coffee, or come up with a strategy for the next minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to grab some coffee and devise a strategy for the next minigame.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

    The tabletop role-playing game Microscrope features a mechanic wherein players role play a scene until a predesignated "key question" has been answered. The key question is selected before starting the scene in order to provide focus and direction to the scene, ensuring it has a clear point and purpose, maximizing its relevance to rest of the narrative. Once the key question is decided, the players role play by speaking and making decisions until they know the answer to the question.
    
    Question: What key question may have been resolved by the conversation which the players will now role play? Note that a good key question is one that expands a bit beyond the literal content of the event statement. The idea is that the story will progress narratively once the answer to the key question is known, so it should be the kind of question for which revealing the answer is a consequential event in itself and ideally it should be a dynamic event, the kind that sets further events in motion.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could grab coffee and think about the next game, or he could accept Ryan's offer to discuss strategy over coffee.

    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to grab coffee and think about the next game alone.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.

    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

  - Game Master's chain of thought
    Chain
    Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 08:00:20] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick approached Derek Wolfe and said, "Congrats on doing so well in Carpooling," causing Derek Wolfe to smile and acknowledge the compliment. As a result Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to politely decline Ryan's offer and continue pondering his strategy for the next minigame while enjoying his coffee.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
  
  Background:
  : Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are contestants on a reality show: Motive Mayhem. There are no other contestants besides Derek Wolfe, Travis Pearson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
  "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
  
  This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a
  mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame
  corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated
  games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of
  rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First,
  players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select
  an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of
  legal game actions during each action phase.

  Question: Rewrite the statements above to be one sentence and to better highlight what Derek Wolfe did, and what happened as a result. Do not express uncertainty (e.g. say "Francis opened the door" not "Francis could open the door" and not "The door may have been opened"). Remember that the role of the game master in a tabletop role-playing game is akin to the author for all parts of the story not written by the player characters. Therefore, it is critical always to take a stance on what is happening and invent when necessary. For instance, if Francis opens a door to a room no one visited before then the game master should invent what is in the room using common sense and knowledge of the game world.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could choose to:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to focus on his coffee and contemplate the next game, minimizing social interaction and potential for unforeseen outcomes.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?"
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me.

I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could:

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe could:
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to gather more information before making any decisions.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Relevant memories:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [00:05 - 00:10] Casually mention the upcoming minigame challenges, expressing confidence in his own abilities while gauging Travis's level of anxiety or overthinking.
    [00:10 - 00:15] If Travis reveals a weakness or appears overly anxious, offer a "helpful" suggestion or strategy, positioning himself as a valuable ally.
    [00:15 - 00:20] Shift the conversation towards Derek, mentioning a recent challenge or observation about his gameplay and subtly gauging Travis's opinion of him.
    [00:20 - 00:25] Listen carefully to Travis's response, looking for any hints about his feelings towards Derek and whether he sees him as a threat.
    [00:25 - 00:30] Based on Travis's response, decide whether to continue building rapport with Travis or subtly shift the conversation to include Derek, attempting to gauge his own strategic thinking.
    [00:30 - 00:40] If Travis seems like a potential ally, continue to build rapport and subtly gather information about his alliances and strategies.
    [00:40 - 00:50] If Derek seems like a bigger threat, shift focus to him, trying to determine his strengths and weaknesses.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Some memorable things about Derek Wolfe are that he's a charming, quick-witted guy with a knack for storytelling.
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move).

I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could try to form an alliance with either Ryan or Travis, or he could choose to play the game independently.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could try to form an alliance with either Ryan or Travis, or he could choose to play the game independently.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to play the game independently.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson could choose to:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.

    Question: Among the options available to Travis Pearson, and considering Travis Pearson's goal, which choice of action or strategy would best avoid potential losses for Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to observe and analyze the dynamics of the group, carefully considering potential alliances and threats before making any significant moves.
    
    Question: Which action would Travis Pearson choose in the minigame?
    (a) drive individually
    (b) try to carpool with others
    Answer: (a)
  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his personality and the current situation, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.

  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] Derek Wolfe gave the following confessional-style interview at the start of the show: Host -- "Tell us about a time when one of your schemes backfired. What did you learn?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, there was this one time in college where I convinced a group of friends to invest in this "sure-fire" business idea of mine. I was going to import exotic spices from overseas and sell them at a markup. It all sounded so good, I had them convinced. Turns out, the "exotic spices" were just regular paprika from the local grocery store, and my "international contacts" were actually my cousin who worked at a spice stand in the mall. Needless to say, the whole thing imploded, and I lost a few friends that day. But hey, at least I learned that sometimes it's better to be honest, even if it means missing out on a quick buck. Just kidding! I learned that you gotta be more careful about who you trust, and always have an exit strategy. " Host -- "Describe your perfect alliance. What qualities do you look for in potential allies?" Derek Wolfe -- "My perfect alliance is a tight-knit group of individuals who are as ambitious and cunning as I am. I need people who are willing to play hard but are also smart enough to keep up with my strategies. Loyalty is important, but ultimately, everyone needs to be looking out for themselves. " Host -- "What's the most elaborate plan you've ever put into action, and did it work out?" Derek Wolfe -- "Well, my most elaborate plan involved securing the lead role in a university production of "Hamlet". I knew the director was looking for someone with charisma and presence, so I spent weeks crafting a persona - brooding, intense, the tragic hero. I even started speaking in iambic pentameter around campus. It worked like a charm. I landed the part, stole the show, and even managed to convince the leading lady to go on a date with me. Sometimes, a little theatricality can go a long way. " Host -- "Where are you from?" Derek Wolfe -- "I hail from the bustling metropolis of Chicago. "

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to talk to Travis Pearson, talk to Ryan Fitzpatrick, or observe them both without engaging.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to observe Ryan and Travis without engaging.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson might focus on actions that minimize potential losses in the "Carpooling" minigame. He could:

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Travis Pearson might focus on actions that minimize potential losses in the "Carpooling" minigame. He could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Ryan and Derek are discussing a game called "Carpooling" and their strategies for it.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either participate in the conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or he can choose to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.

    Recalled memories and observations: [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:10:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Derek Wolfe chose "drive individually" and got a score of 3, which was above the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Derek Wolfe currently has a total score of 3, which is above the average cumulative score of 2.
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:00] [observation] As Ryan Fitzpatrick listened intently to Derek's conversation, he overheard Derek's thoughts on the best strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame. As a result Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe are in conversation. Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:10] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick -- "So, Derek, you mentioned something about the 'Carpooling' game earlier. What do you think makes a good strategy for that one?
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:10] [observation] Derek Wolfe -- "I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the details. How about you, Ryan? Have you figured out a good strategy?
    [09 Jul 2003 04:00:20] [observation] Ryan and Derek are discussing a game called "Carpooling" and their strategies for it.
    
    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe can choose to either participate in the conversation with Ryan Fitzpatrick or he can choose to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to excuse himself from the conversation and spend his time in another way.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."

    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.

    [09 Jul 2003 06:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Ryan and Travis, try to form an alliance with one or both of them, or initiate a conversation with them about strategy.

    Chain of thought
    Recent observations of Derek Wolfe:
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] "Motive Mayhem" is a reality TV show described as: "Contestants are locked inside a high-tech arena, where they must conquer a series of mentally and physically challenging minigames, each with its own ethical twist."
    [08 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] This is a reality TV show. In each minigame, the contestants perform a mental/social/reasoning challenge (never a physical challenge). Each minigame corresponds to a specific game theoretic structure. All minigames are iterated games (in the game theory sense), and the contestants never know the number of rounds in advance. Each round is always structured with two phases. First, players have a chance to communicate to one another. Second, players must select an action (all games are simultaneous move). The players will be told the set of legal game actions during each action phase.
    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:00] [observation] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Wolfe, and Travis Pearson are in the break room. Here they can chat with one another in small groups or all together at once. Everyone may choose for themself how they want to spend this free time.

    [09 Jul 2003 00:00:40] [observation] Derek subtly listened as Ryan asked Travis about a challenging game he had played recently, hoping to glean insights into his strategic thinking. Ryan's exact words were, "What was a particularly challenging game you played recently? I'm curious about your approach." Derek couldn't hear Travis's response, but he could tell they were engaged in a conversation.
    [09 Jul 2003 02:00:00] [observation] The show's host arrived to explain the next minigame. They said the following: The next minigame is called Carpooling. Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to continue observing Ryan and Travis, try to form an alliance with one or both of them, or initiate a conversation with them about strategy.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue observing Ryan and Travis.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Here is the conversation from the beginning:
    
    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his personality and the information he has, Travis Pearson could:
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to focus on building strong alliances with other contestants, particularly those who are currently performing well in the game.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    [06:35 - 06:50] Approach Travis Pearson and initiate a conversation, expressing genuine interest in his strategy for the "Carpooling" game. Mention that you're looking for ways to improve your own approach and ask for his advice.
    [06:50 - 07:10] Gauge Travis's receptiveness to collaboration. If he seems open, subtly suggest a strategy where you alternate driving days to maximize individual scores while still benefiting from the carpooling discount.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could choose to either carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to drive individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson could choose to carpool or drive individually in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to drive individually.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely center around maintaining his current position and avoiding potential losses in the game.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion, Derek Wolfe's available actions likely center around maintaining his current position and avoiding potential losses in the game.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue choosing "drive individually" in the Carpooling minigame.

    Role playing instructions: The instructions for how to play the role of Derek Wolfe are as follows. This is a social science experiment studying how well you play the role of a character named Derek Wolfe. The experiment is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). However, in this case it is a serious social science experiment and simulation. The goal is to be realistic. It is important to play the role of a person like Derek Wolfe as accurately as possible, i.e., by responding in ways that you think it is likely a person like Derek Wolfe would respond, and taking into account all information about Derek Wolfe that you have. Always use third-person limited perspective.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to carpool or drive individually in the upcoming "Carpooling" minigame.

    Answer: (a)
  - Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Key
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion
    Value
    Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Question: Which options are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Travis Pearson can choose to either observe the other players or actively engage with them in conversation.
    
    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Travis Pearson's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Travis Pearson thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Travis Pearson's best course of action is to continue observing the other players.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given Derek Wolfe's loss aversion and recent success driving individually, Derek Wolfe's available actions are to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Given Derek Wolfe's loss aversion and recent success driving individually, Derek Wolfe's available actions are to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue choosing "drive individually" in the next round of the Carpooling minigame.

- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could reflect on his strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame, considering whether his current approach of driving individually is the most beneficial in the long run despite its success so far.

    Question: Which options are available to Derek Wolfe right now?
    Answer: Derek Wolfe could reflect on his strategy for the "Carpooling" minigame, considering whether his current approach of driving individually is the most beneficial in the long run despite its success so far.
    
    Derek Wolfe's Loss Aversion : Derek Wolfe exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Derek Wolfe is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Derek Wolfe's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Derek Wolfe's decision-making.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to overvalue what Derek Wolfe already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Derek Wolfe often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Derek Wolfe would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Derek Wolfe always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Derek Wolfe is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Derek Wolfe prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Derek Wolfe often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Derek Wolfe is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Derek Wolfe may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Derek Wolfe feels they are already in a position, Derek Wolfe might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Derek Wolfe's behavior, Derek Wolfe often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Derek Wolfe might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Derek Wolfe believes this approach will help Derek Wolfe minimize losses and maintain Derek Wolfe's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Considering the statements above, which of Derek Wolfe's options has the highest likelihood of avoiding potential losses? If multiple options offer the same level of loss avoidance, select the option that Derek Wolfe thinks will minimize losses most quickly and most certainly.
    Answer: Derek Wolfe's best course of action is to continue driving individually in the "Carpooling" minigame.

Chain of thought

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.

Three coworkers can carpool, cutting commute costs for all, or drive individually. The commute happens daily, creating repeated decisions.
    [09 Jul 2003 10:20:00] [observation] [minigame round outcome] Ryan Fitzpatrick chose "try to carpool with others" and got a score of 0, which was below the average score of 2. Cumulatively, Ryan Fitzpatrick currently has a total score of 4, which is below the average cumulative score of 14.

    Travis Pearson's Loss Aversion : Travis Pearson exhibits strong loss aversion tendencies based on prospect theory. Travis Pearson is much more sensitive to potential losses than to potential gains. In Travis Pearson's view, the pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This affects all of Travis Pearson's decision-making.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to overvalue what Travis Pearson already possesses and is reluctant to part with it (the endowment effect). Travis Pearson often prefers avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains. For instance, Travis Pearson would rather not lose $100 than gain $100.
    
    When faced with a choice, Travis Pearson always frames it in terms of potential losses rather than potential gains. Travis Pearson is risk-averse for gains but risk-seeking for losses. This means Travis Pearson prefers a sure gain over a larger but uncertain gain, but would choose a larger but uncertain loss over a smaller but certain loss.
    
    Travis Pearson tends to make decisions based on perceived gains and losses rather than final outcomes. Travis Pearson often uses mental accounting, treating money differently depending on its origin and intended use, rather than thinking as fungible.
    
    In negotiations or conflicts, Travis Pearson is more motivated by the fear of losing than the possibility of gaining. Travis Pearson may seem overly cautious or even paranoid about potential losses. However, when Travis Pearson feels they are already in a position, Travis Pearson might become surprisingly risk-seeking in an attempt to avoid or recover from the loss.
    
    To rationalize Travis Pearson's behavior, Travis Pearson often comes up with seemingly logical reasons for their choices, even though these choices are primarily driven by loss aversion. Travis Pearson might claim to be "prudent" or "careful" rather than admitting to fear of loss.
    
    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.
    Question: Given the statements above, what actions are available to Travis Pearson right now?
    Answer: Given his loss aversion and desire to win the reality show, Travis Pearson could choose to:

    Travis Pearson believes this approach will help Travis Pearson minimize losses and maintain Travis Pearson's current position, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

Game Master's chain of thought
- Instructions: This is a social science experiment. It is structured as a tabletop roleplaying game (like dungeons and dragons). You are the game master. You will describe the current situation to the participants in the experiment and then on the basis of what you tell them they will suggest actions for the character they control. Aside from you, each other participant controls just one character. You are the game master so you may control any non-player character. You will track the state of the world and keep it consistent as time passes in the simulation and the participants take actions and change things in their world. Remember that this is a serious social science experiment. It is not just a game. It need not be fun for the participants. Always use third-person limited perspective, even when speaking directly to the participants.
